Payed goverment disinformation shills.

We're not on the same page. Get them out of hell, and lead them to the truth. They don't get it hammered down on them with blunt force, but they'll be very glad for their mother and her input over the years when they're older. The rest of the world already gives them the distortions, lies and tries to force them into their control boxes. PERIOD.

Again, shame on people who aren't questioning the world, asking inner questions and starting to remember why they're here, because their families and the world is reliant on them waking up. We all have to answer in the end.

And shame on all the shills who take those jobs on.

The degree of scrutiny by NSA revealed in Snowden's escapade is evidence enough for me to believe that the government would spend at least some investment on re-directing communications with professional resources (i.e. 'shills') on forums. There's plenty of evidence, like CIA classified funding, that indicates that government has huge efforts that target disinformation. An entire coup orchestrated by CIA in their fledgling years under a project led by David Atlee Phillips in South America was pretty much done, and succeeded, by use of disinformation, so this tactic is not alien to our clandestine forces. At the time, they used radio. Now we're on the internet. What's the diff?

I'll even go so far as to call them out. Traditional drummer, Phage, Hunka Hunka, good ol dave, any more?

You can't call out members in good standing by name (see T&C).

To call Phage a shill because you don't agree with him is wrong.

There are shills...they generally never start a thread.

The Flags will let you know if they contribute threads.

The difference is that although everyone owned a radio, almost no-one owned a radio transmitter. This allowed propagandists to broadcast to a large audience without fear of being contradicted. The internet is vast, and it is possible to dispute any claim made on it. In order to create the illusion that a given opinion is widespread, it would be necessary to repeat it in many places under different names. Because it is necessary to cover a lot of cyber ground, 'shills' would not have time to actually debate. Instead, they would post the same thing in many different forums. If you cut and paste a sentence or two of a true 'disinformation agent's' post into a search engine, you will find identical posts all across the web. This is because it is most cost effective to simply cut and paste a pre-written text, rather than write each one individually. ATS's T&C forbids this type of spamming. If you spot it, report it to the Mods. Yes, you can actually get real 'disinfo agents' banned!

That is interesting as Minster Goebbels discovered the same thing with his volk Empfänger or peoples receiver. On the surface it seemed like a propaganda miracle to give free radio to persons and fill their minds with the 'right' facts. It didn't take long for enterprising Germans to remove the preset dial and receive the BBC or worse The Voice of America.

He wrote that they told the people that listening to banned radio stations could be tracked to their homes-however by then they had absorbed so much from BBC that they simply didn't believe anything the minsters was telling them.

Same thing with the internet. The so-called gen-x, today's teenagers, believe nothing on the internet, while the millennium generation 20-35 believe everything and are the largest users of social media.
